Chrysanthemum mortifolium/Decorative Pot Mum
cv. ‘Chamidi’
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum, botanically known as Chrysanthemum mortifolium, and hereafter is referred to by the cultivar name Chamidi.
The new cultivar of the present invention was created at Nuaillé, France when plants of the Chanizet cultivar (U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 10/114,447, filed Apr. 3, 2002) were irradiated with gamma radiation. The female parent of the ‘Chamidi’ variety was named ‘88/28/3’ (non-patented in the United States) and the male parent of the ‘Chamidi’ variety was named ‘87/172/4’ (non-patented in the United States). Cuttings of the irradiated plants were used to produce new plants that were carefully studied. The new cultivar of the present invention was selected from among the rooted cuttings at Nuaillé, France, primarily because of its distinctive and attractive flower coloration.
It was found that the new Chrysanthemum cultivar of the present invention displays:
The new cultivar can be grown singly or in clumps in pots. It also can be grown in the landscape. The bright yellow blossoms contract nicely with the shiny dark green foliage. The blossoms have been found to be long lasting and commonly last up to four weeks on the plant. Pinching is helpful to further enhance branching; however, such pinching is not necessary since the plant already is naturally self-branching.
The new cultivar can be readily distinguished from its ‘Chanizet’ parent in view of the different blossom coloration. The blossoms of the cultivar of the present invention are a uniform bright yellow while those of the ‘Chanizet’ cultivar are bronze in coloration. Also, each of the ‘88/28/3’ and ‘87/172/4’ parental varieties of the ‘Chamidi’ cultivar display bronze-colored blossoms.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by cuttings as performed at Nuaillé, France, in a controlled environment has demonstrated that the characteristics of the new cultivar are firmly fixed and are retained through successive generations of asexual propagation.
‘Chamidi’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions to date. Accordingly, it is possible that the phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in the environment, such as temperature, light, day length, contact with pesticides and/or subjection to grown regulation treatments.
The accompanying photographs depict important parts of the new Chamidi cultivar when grown in a pot in a greenhouse at Nuaillé, France. The plant was approximately four months of age.
FIG. 1 shows a close view of an attractive ball-shaped bright yellow blossom of the ‘Chamidi’ cultivar.
FIG. 2 shows a typical dark green leaf of the ‘Chamidi’ cultivar. While not readily apparent in a photograph of this character, the upper surface is glossy.
The plants described were grown in pots in a greenhouse at Nuaillé, France. No growth regulation was used. The growing conditions approximate those commonly utilized for the commercial production of decorative pot mums.
